Thursday 09.11.06
    Eventually, today Renata Kuhnova is given her wallet which she lost from her harness during the flight on Tuesday. But the honest finder was so happy that he drank away all money from the wallet. Therefore Renata can leave Reunion Island with her passport in her hand after the competition at least and she doesn't need to search for a job and some husband here.

    In view of the weather the start window for 53 kilometers long task is open at 9.20 a.m. already. But conditions are so weak at first that 23 pilots even don't succeed in overflying 20 kilometers.

 Waiting by the goal line


 Arrival to the goal

    Swiss pilots Bruno Arnold and Christian Maurer reach the goal together after three hours of flying. But Bruno is one second faster and he is the winner of today's task, while Christian always holds the first position of the total ranking of the competition. Next Swiss Stefan Wyss arrives 90 seconds behind them and gradually 40 pilots then.

    Finally, Petra Krausova reaches the goal too but her time 4 hours and 13 minutes is far too long to hold the first position of this year's Paragliding World Cup in The Women Category and thus Karin Appenzeller from Switzerland is in the lead after this day.
